NICU2HOME consists of five core features - Home, Update, Education, Journey, and Community - all of which were requested by NICU graduate parents and health care providers.
Home offers daily customized education content based on infants’ current age and parents' preferences. This homepage also functions as a private social media-like platform allowing parents to invite and connect with family and friends.
"It's a great connection tool for our family and the grandparents while our little boy was in the NICU and a great resource for preemie baby information."

Education Center
The Education Center provides a wide range of useful content for parents of even the youngest premature babies. Educational content covers developmentally appropriate topics throughout the NICU journey. While many parents feel a sense of uncertainty during the NICU stay and transition home, the Education Center fosters feelings of self-efficacy, competence and emotional support.
"I really like the educational content, especially as a first-time parent. I find the information to be well organized and relevant and not overwhelming."
